MANY HAPPY RETURNS
Vikings first team to score on punt, kick returns three times
Percy Harvin returned Sunday's opening kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown and Marcus Sherels added a 77-yard punt return score in the third quarter. That was the third time the Vikings have returned a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown in the same game, an NFL record. The last time the Vikings did it was on Nov. 13, 2005, when Koren Robinson scored on a kickoff against the Giants and Mewelde Moore returned a punt for a score. Randy Moss (punt return) and Robert Tate (kickoff return) were the first duo in club history to do it, with special teams scores in a 1999 game against the Chiefs. The Lions gave up kickoff and punt return touchdowns for the second consecutive game, also an NFL record.
MANO-A-MANO
